Serve ball bouncing off net to the receiver's side but not in the required block
Rules
Aditya Sawant Asked 6 years ago
My question is while playing doubles, if, while serving, the ball hits the net and bounces on the opponent's side but in the same half as mine (from right quarter block of my side to left quarter block of the receiver's side), is it a let or does the opponent get the point?

Hi Aditya,
The opponent would get the point because you haven't completed a proper serve.
I hope this clears it up for you.
